Dem. Congresswoman Calls to Swap Border Patrol with ‘Civilianized’ Personnel

BREITBART reports that Texas Democrat Rep. Veronica Escobar called to end the handling of illegal border crossers by law enforcement and instead opt for “civilianized” personnel, claiming Thursday it would “restore” the dignity of all involved and the Biden administration “has been very open” to her proposals.

During an interview aired on MSNBC’s “Reports” with José Díaz-Balart, the Democrat from El Paso discusses the propositions she raised with Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

“I have proposed and have been working with Secretary Mayorkas on reforming the way we process asylum seekers at the southern border,” she said.

According to Escobar, that reform includes a plan to “civilianize” the current personnel dealing with the many migrants illegally entering the country daily.

“We should not be utilizing law enforcement to essentially manage or oversee or process vulnerable populations,” she said. “We should civilianize that personnel and get law enforcement back to what they were trained to do.”

“Thankfully,” she noted, “the secretary has been very open to my ideas.”
